I have 2 cases - the Tutto is for my big machine, which I don't transport very often but I did want to have one made to transport it when it does leave the house. The other is one from Joann's - got it on sale and it is for my traveling machine and I leave it packed with scissors, machine oil, various little tools and needles. I have a small cutting mat that fits in the bag, but if I am traveling I take my ironing/cutting mat in my suitcase which is much bigger.
